Westchester County library card holders in good standing and 18 years old or older may borrow one Museum Pass/Card or have Museum Cards, but not use multiple ones at the same time.

The loan period for museum passes and discount cards is 3 days (2 nights). You may need to show your library card along with the museum pass or card to gain admission. All passes offer free general admission; some passes are for one adult and two children living in the same household, and other passes may allow more people. Some passes offer other privileges also.

Even if you have reserved a pass, before coming to pick up the pass, please call us to confirm that we have it. Come to the adult reference desk for more information and to borrow passes.

Museums are subject to full or partial closure; we suggest you confirm museum hours, exhibits and admission privileges.

Some museums have cooperative free admission arrangements with other institutions. For example, the Hudson River Museum and the Neuberger Museum of Art passes allow free admission to organizations in the Fairfield / Westchester Museum Alliance. Contact other museums to find out about their reciprocal arrangements.

Some museums and institutions offer free admission at all times, pay what you wish, or offer free admission at specified times. Not all of their exhibits may be available to you for free or reduced admission fees.
